Description & Heraldry
EYE: The D'Aramarin eye color is green, with dark green being reserved for the D'Kard house.

GEM: The D'Aramarin's gem very closely resembles their eye color as it is an emerald.

HERALDRY: The Kraken serves as the symbol for the D'Aramarin House. It is usually drawn with the head/body in the center and the eight arms swirling out in pairs, with holes for the eyes, adding an eerie sinister look to the symbol. The Kraken is the creation of the God King Laaka, and as they are usually referred to as daughters, its estimated they are female. For more information see: Kraken.

Havar D'Aramarin -- Current High Lord

Dorman D'Aramarin -- "Nobleman" of the House

Economic Monopoly
The D'Aramarin House controls the Gatesystem of the Empire, and general transportation. As trade and quick transport are essential to the Empire success in both trade and war, the family has a great deal of importance, even among the other Royal Houses. The Gatesystem uses Gatestones to aid those with magic in making gates as it is very difficult to do so alone. The D'Aramarin's have mages who are able to work together or use the Gatestones to help others travel, for a fee. They also have mages employed who monitor the Gatestones, ensuring their security and reporting any suspicious activity. They continue the general trend in Quur of only employing and licensing men, and refusing to recognize females with magic abilities as anything more than a witch.

House History
ORIGINALITY : The close connection of this house's gem and eye color as well as the normalcy of the eye color indicate that his is likely one of the original eight Royal Houses.

Not much of the House's history is known from The Ruin of Kings, expect that House D'Aramarin and House D'Mon made an agreement a year after Kihrin was born, and as a result Alsenha D'Aramarin married Darzin D'Mon. They are also ranked first among the other Royal Houses.
